  Looking for a drink and good munchies? I found just the place in Capitola! I've walked around this area and dined at a few restaurants around here but never noticed this place until last weekend.  From the outside it's dark, there's a small entrance, and the place doesn't look too big. But when you enter the fun just opens up! 2 pool tables, a long bar, a jukebox with some great throwbacks, tables at the end with a beautiful view and some very friendly bartenders who do it all!
  
  It was about 3 pm so there was nobody else there when we came in. We sat at a tall table by the window and ordered a bunch of food.  Onion rings, hot wings, mozzarella sticks, and two orders of fish and chips. The bartender came over and took our order herself, we ordered some drinks and she went to the bar and prepared them, afterward we saw her go to the back and she was preparing the food too! It was a one woman show and she was killing it! I'll admit it was a little worrisome at first once more people started coming in and the whole bar filled up, another table filled up and people started playing pool but we didn't have to wait long for food and everything came out delicious!

  On April 28, 2019, four of us stopped in for a refreshment and to enjoy the view.
  
  The service is friendly, the cocktails are a bargain, and the place is a gem.
  
  Plenty of seating, clean bathroom, 2 pool tables, a jukebox, and a windows that you can open if you get to warm (or close if you're chilled).
  
  We look forward to our next visit.

  Super good street tacos, delicious! perfect amount of meat and toppings. 3 tacos per order. Had a side order of fries and OH BOY! were they big...the basket was huge- a lot of fries baby.....
  I enjoyed my first Gin and Tonic!!!! - they were good drinks. I am not a drinker, therefore I can say their drinks were very weak..good for me ;) but for those of you who like strong drinks...you will need to consume a lot of them to get your buzz-on. I didn't mind the drink being on the weak side thought.

  Wow, this little place rocks!  Was hungry and thirsty, walked in, passed a couple of pool tables, got a window seat with a beautiful view.  My husband and I shared a plate of tacos.  I think they were the best double tortilla fish tacos with sliced avocado on top we've ever had.  Thank you to Jose who made them!  My husband liked his Jack and Coke and I enjoyed my Arnold Palmer.  Indi, our bartender/waitress, was so nice and gracious, she made our experience wonderful.  We liked the fish tacos and service so much, we went back the next day!

  I never post on this app, but I was just here on the 4th of July and just witnessed some crazy incompetence by the staff. The bouncer let a girl hit a guy and let a fight happen between a couple of girls, and a bartender grabbed the girl who was fighting people and escalating everything back into the bar, instead of kicking her out. Everything afterwards felt very uncomfortable, and I did not enjoy my stay there after. Food and drinks were fine, but the staff handled that situation very poorly (yes I get it was the Fourth of July, but it was still not handled well). The girl who started everything wasn't kicked out, and was given another drink by the bartender after he had to drag her away from the fight. The bouncer could have stopped everything from happening, but just sat on his stool and did nothing, as a girl punched a guy in the chest a few times as he blocked a fight from happening between two girls. I'll come back when the staff gets a major upgrade
